Liberal Faction of Hyderabad

The Liberal Faction was a political faction at the court of the Nizam of Hyderabad State that existed from 1724 to 1948. The faction consisted of classical liberal elements of Hyderabadi politics, advocating for reformism in the state in order to advance the economic prosperity of the people and to decrease the power of the monarchy. The Liberal Faction held little power under the conservative rule of the Nizams, and it dissolved in 1948 when Hyderabad was annexed by India.
